7/7 bomber's wife remarries

Widow of 7/7 ringleader Mohammad Sidique Khan has remarried and started a new life

The widow of 7/7 ringleader Mohammad Sidique Khan has remarried and started a new life far away from the home where Britain’s worst terror atrocity was planned.

Petite Hasina Khan, 32, has severed all links to her old life and is now married to heating engineer Tariq Mahmood, 35. They have a daughter, thought to be aged around three.

Speaking outside her small two-bedroom terraced house she confirmed that she had begun a new life, but added: “I do not want to say anything else in order to respect the inquests.”

A coroner is still hearing grim evidence from survivors of the London blasts that killed 52 and injured 700.

Hasina and her six-year-old daughter moved 50 miles away from the tight-knit Asian community in Dewsbury, West Yorks, soon after learning Khan was behind the 2005 bloodbath.

She knew nothing of his plan, nor that he was a ­secret Islamic radical who had visited al-Qaeda training camps.

She miscarried their second child soon after the suicide bombings.

This week she stayed at home while her bearded husband Tariq – who wears Western designer jeans and sweatshirts – was spotted taking Hasina’s older daughter to school two miles away.

One neighbour said: “They don’t say much to anyone and keep themselves to themselves. But they seem happy.”

Hasina married Khan in 2001 after they met at Leeds Metropolitan University.

In her only interview after the atrocities, Hasina, who learned of the attack on the TV news, condemned his actions, saying: “If somebody did that to me or my daughter I could never forgive them.How can you be so calculated and not have any emotions?”

Khan left £400 in his will to buy Maryam toys and also wrote a written apology to his wife for his “lies and deceit”.

Khan’s fellow bombers were bright student Shehzad Tanweer, teenager Hasib Hussain and ­Jamaican-born Germaine Lindsay. The inquest into the deaths of their victims is expected to last until next year.
